PARK CITY PAIRS.
What is Going on at the Home
of the Ontario.

INDICATIONS POINT to another railroad
for Park City, and it can come none too
soon for the prosperity of the camp and
its residents. We believe in railroads
as a means OF prosperity, and think no
town can have too many. tits an old
established truth that if one railroad
will, help place, two will help it much
more, and We say let the road come.
While another road will increase COM
petition among our merchants and
consequently cheaper everything We
eat and wear, it will make more bust
ness in every branch of trade; it will be
of untold benefit as regards the develop
ment of our mines, and what our
merchants lose in price they will more
than make up in volume. 1t is no re-
markable sign of prosperity 10 see high
prices rule. when a cheaper rate
would double the volume of business.
Considering that our merchants get the
same rates on freight as do Salt Lake
merchants to-day, we fail to see why an
additional road should cause any grave
fears for the future. 1t is our candid
opinion that another road would give
our camp a boom 1t has never yet
dreamed of.

TUESDAY NIGHT raid was made by
the police on the domicile of Emma

THERE IS an unusually large number
OF cattle and horses along the Park City
branch of the Union Pacific, between
Echo and the Park, and the trains are
killing them every day. Saturday last
the freight train mangled up six head
and the passenger two, while on the
run down Sunday morning, after max
ing many stops, fine calf was caught
and mashed up. The authorities of the
road should put up fencing, or do
something to protect themselves and
the farmers along the road

Mrs. JOHN WRIGHT has again
strayed from home and gone
no one knows where. She took
all her clothes and evidently

can find no trace OF her and has not the
slightest idea of her whereabouts, and
doesn't care very much.-Cal.
